Source code analyzer, FPR file generation, reduction of false positives and generates compliance reports, for in-depth analysis
Not challenges with the product itself. The product is very reliable. It does have a steep learning curve. But, again, one thing that Fortify or OpenText does very well is training. There are a lot of free resources and training in the community forums, free training as well as commercial training where users can train on how to use the back-end systems and the scanning engines and how to use command-line arguments because some of the procedures or some of the tools do require a bit of a learning curve. That's the only challenge I've really seen for customers because you have to learn how to use the tool effectively. But Fortify has, in fact, improved its user interface and the way users engage the dashboards and the interfaces. It is intuitive. It's easy to understand. But in some regards, the cybersecurity specialist or AppSec would need a bit of training to engage the user interface and to understand how it functions. But from the point of the reliability index and how powerful the tool is, there's no challenge there. But it's just from a learning perspective; users might need a bit more skill to use the tool. The user interface isn't that tedious. It's not that difficult to understand. When I initially learned how to use the interfaces, I was able to master it within a week and was able to use it quite effectively. So training is required. All skills are needed to learn how to use the tool. I would like to see more enhancements in the dashboards. Dashboards are available. They do need some configuration and settings. But I would like to see more business intelligence capabilities within the tool. It's not particularly a cybersecurity function, but, for instance, business impact analysis or other features where you can actually use business intelligence capabilities within your security tool. That would be remarkable because not only do you have a cybersecurity tool, but you also have a tool that can give you business impact analysis and some other measurements. A bit more intelligence in terms of that from a cybersecurity perspective would be remarkable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution scans our code and provides us with a dashboard of all the vulnerabilities and the criticality of the vulnerabilities. It is very useful that they provide right then and there all the information about the vulnerability, including possible fixes, as well as some additional documentation and links to the authoritative sources of why this is an issue and what's the correct way to deal with it."
"The static code analyzers are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the server, scanning, and it has helped identify issues with the security analysis."
"The installation was easy."
"I do not remember any issues with stability."
"Micro Focus WebInspect and Fortify code analysis tools are fully integrated with SSC portals and can instantly register to error tracking systems, like TFS and JIRA."
"It is a very easy tool for developers to use in parallel while they're doing the coding. It does auto scanning as we are progressing with the CI/CD pipeline. It has got very simple and efficient API support."
"Once we have our project created with our application pipeline connected to the test scanning, it only takes two minutes. The report explaining what needs to be modified related to security and vulnerabilities in our code is very helpful. We are able to do static and dynamic code scanning."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
 

Cons

"I would like the solution to add AI support."
"In terms of communication, they can integrate a few more third-party tools. It would be great if we can have more options for microservice communication. They can also improve the securability a bit more because security is one of the biggest aspects these days when you are using the cloud. Some more security features would be really helpful."
"The products must provide better integration with build tools."
".NET code scanning is still dependent on building the code base before running any scan. Also, it's dependent on an IDE such as Visual Studio."
"There are many false positives identified by the solution."
"In terms of what could be improved, we need more strategic analysis reports, not just for one specific application, but for the whole enterprise. In the next release, we need more reports and more analytic views for all the applications. There is no enterprise view in Fortify. I would like enterprise views and reports."
"They could provide features for artificial intelligence similar to other vendors."
"It would be highly beneficial if Fortify on Demand incorporated runtime analysis, similar to how Contrast Security utilizes agents for proactive application security."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive and the price could be reduced."
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
"Fortify on Demand is more expensive than Burpsuite. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
"We make an annual purchase of the licenses we need."
"The pricing model it's based on how many applications you wish to scan."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
